PREAMBLE, 



Whereas, It has become only too evident, from the steady 
decline of proper celebration of our national holidays, that 
popular interest in the events and men of the War of the 
Revolution is gradually fading away : 

And Whereas, We believe that this lack of interest is to 
be attributed, not so much to lapse of time and to the rapidly 
increasing flood of emigration from foreign countries, as to 
the neglect on the part of descendants of Revolutionary 
heroes to perform their duty of keeping before the public 
mind the memory of the services of their ancestors and of 
the times in which they lived : 

Therefore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution 
has been instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men 
who, in military, naval, and civil service, by their acts or 
counsel, achieved American Independence ; to promote the 
proper celebration of the anniversaries of Washington's 
Birthday, and prominent events relating to or connected 
with the War of the Revolution ; to collect and secure for 
preservation the manuscript rolls, records, and other docu- 
ments relating to the War of the Revolution; to inspire 
among the members of the Society and their descendants 
the patriotic spirit of their forefathers; and to promote 
social intercourse and the feeling of fellowship among its 
members.

other documents relating to the War of the Revolution ;
